INGREDIENTS
- 2 chicken breasts, very thinly sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets, small pieces
- 1 cup cabbage, very thinly sliced/chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce* (sub for coconut aminos for keto)
- 1 tbsp Walden Farms Maple Syrup* (calorie-free, program-approved)
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper**
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled, minced or thinly sliced
- Fresh green onions or scallions
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil or EVOO
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat the oil of your choice (toasted sesame oil for extra flavor or EVOO) in a large skillet until it feels hot when you bring your hand close to it.
- Add the garlic and ginger, stirring for about 10 seconds, then quickly add the chicken. Stir well as it cooks until the chicken turns opaque white but isn’t fully cooked (about 4-5 minutes).
- Add the broccoli, cabbage, and red bell pepper along with the soy sauce and maple syrup. Do not stir. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it cook for 5-7 minutes. The vegetables will soften without overcooking.
- Toss everything together using kitchen tongs. Top with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve!
